| <H1>Comparing resources with repository versions</H1> |
| |
| <P>To compare Workbench resources with those in the repository: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select a resource in one of the navigation views.</li> |
| <li>From the resource's pop-up menu, select one of the following menu items: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Compare With > Latest From <Branch Name></b> or <strong><Version></strong>- |
| Compare the Workbench resource with the latest resources currently committed |
| to the branch that the local project is shared with or if the local project |
| is checked out as a version then compare against the version. A compare |
| editor will be opened. This editor will display a tree of all resource |
| differences between the workspace resource and the latest resources in |
| the repository.</li> |
| <li><b>Compare With > Another Branch or Version</b> - Compare the Workbench |
| resource with a specific version or branch that you select in the repository. |
| A compare editor will be opened. The editor will display a tree of all |
| resource differences between the workspace resource and the resources |
| in the specified version or branch.</li> |
| <li><b>Compare With > History...</b> - (available only on a file) Compare |
| the Workbench file with another revision of the file. Based on your preference |
| settings, either the History view or a dialog will open. The History view (or dialog) |
| will contain a table of all available revisions |
| of the selected file. Selecting one of the revisions will show the differences |
| between the workspace revision and the selected revision. </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p><em>Tip</em>: When comparing with a branch or version, you can specify a particular |
| date instead of a a version or branch tag. This can be done by right clicking |
| on the <strong>Dates</strong> category in the tag selection list and choosing |
| <strong>Add Date</strong>. A Date Tag dialog is displayed that allows you to |
| specify a date and optionally a time. After you click <strong>Ok</strong>, the |
| date tag will appear in the tag selection list.</p> |
